Interested in a weekly audiophile radio show?


I am an audiogon member, an enthusiastic audiophile and also a volunteer DJ at KZSU Stanford 90.1 FM in the bay area- a non-profit community broadcaster. I am considering dedicating an hour or half hour of my weekly show to audiophile topics.

I was thinking of having people from the industry in for interviews. A few of my ideas included having cartridge designers to explain how cartridges work and the differences between MC, MM etc, amplifier specialists to discuss SET, parallel, transformer-less, Class A, Class D etc. I would love to get ideas from this forum to try and make this as interesting as possible for the audio enthusiast.

Do you think there would even be an interest for this sort of thing? I was also thinking of asking audiophile re-issuer’s, like Classic, Speakers Corner etc. in to play their pressings. The station is equipped with an input that facilitates bringing an outboard phono preamp and turntable in. It also has three turntables that we use all the time, but they are definitely more disco type rigs with tough Stanton cartridges. What do you think?

I think this is a great idea. I hope you know that several reviewers, TAS chief editor, and lots of knowledgeable audiophile and music lovers within 45 minutes of stanford. I can imagine lots of interesting topic perhaps two 30 minutes shows a weeks. send me your email if you want to talk?

enjoy the music,

I would love it. Stream it to internet if the station is not already. Post the times here and AA and I am sure there will be an listeners from around the world.
Sounds like a great idea.. Hopefully you can make it a podcast so we international folks can listen to it as well. :)
sure...we'd all love it...but look at the audience you are asking. Would your radio audience like it? Not to rain on your parade or anything...I just wonder how much interest there would be from the general public being that "audiophiles" are such a rare breed themselves.
